Rolling back this update should resolve it until MS gets a fix out.

Thank you George - I spent a good few hours chasing my tail trying to get to the bottom of that one. It was so recent that there wasn't really anything on the general internet that helped. I followed the instructions from MS on rolling back to an earlier version of office:

I settled on version 2111, build 1407.20226 and this works fine. I'm so glad I've only got about 6 PCs to do and not 60! How will we know when MS have released a fix I wonder?

Thanks again - I'm buying you a virtual beer!

PeteHadden MS now has a discussion up on this site. It notes that they'll update it when they get a fix ready. We'll all be keeping an eye on that page, I think.
